Het Moer is traditionally a swamp and the source of the Noordermark river. In the past, local residents extracted peat here. For centuries, Het Moer, with its layers of peat, provided fuel for fireplaces. To improve the extraction of this peat, the area was drained, but this is no longer the case. Now, a boardwalk runs through this beautiful nature reserve, ensuring you can enjoy an oasis of tranquility with dry feet in all seasons.

There are 227 anonymous white crosses in this cemetery. Most of them only have a number. A few crosses have a name. In the period 1873-2000, more than 6000 people were given a final resting place in the three cemeteries. Quite a touching place.
